and was taken to Q case to wrestle with q

THE SALT LAKERs COMING.

A Railroad From Utah to Nevada.
The people Of Salt City are really In
earnest about pushing q railroad into Ne
vada. II is not all talk. The leading men
there-both Mormons and Gentiles-are at
work. There are some very wealthy men
in and about Salt Lake City, and all
seem to have joined hands in the proposed
work. The Salt Lake Tribune OF last
Thursday editorislly says:
1--WE believe that the building OF the
first division OF the railroad from this city
to the cosst-thss portion between this
city and the Nevada line-is assured; that
the grading will be completed before the
first OF January next. and ten miles OF the
road will be fully constructed. We be-
lieve that it will be 30 organized that this
city will be the permanent depot and CEN
ter OF supplies and trade for the road; in
short it will be q Salt Lake enterprise.
And while all the men interested will be
entitled to full credit, we are bound to
say that the Saints took the initiative, and
first came forward with their faith and
thsir money, 1t is too early to begin to
exult much or to attempt to state in Q per-

IL Makes Little difference whether
There In n Boom or Not.

AhcTc ~ " hOuEn OE NObs
Virginia Report
II should mako but very little differ
ence to miners and business men on the
Comstock whether there is q stock boom
or not-whether stocks go up or whether
they 60 down. There is q good deal OF work
going on at the present time. and IL will not
be may days before che Yellow Jacket,
Grown Point will resume operations
Of development and extraction OF ore on o
large scale. The mills that are going up
In our midst are being pushed forward to
completion with considerable energy, and
we are assured by all that is logical that
those mills are going TO be worked and the
ore has to come out Of the mines to work
them, and they would not have been built
had the mining arrangements not known
that the ore was there upon which to
work them.
II is downright folly to argue that a
stock boom contributes q dollar to the
prosperity OF this camp. II ~perahance
three or four poor men get away with q
few hundred dollars in q stock raise, they
invariably 60 of, and whatever they do
with il. they don't come back until its all
zone, There ia scarcely Q man who makes
money that way who ever puts q coat OF
paint on his house-to say nothing OF re-
pairing q leaky roof.
So far as the money made by John P.
Jones, Maoksy, Hayward, Levy. Hobart.
and the stock brokers through Q stock
boom, why 1t is idiocy to argue that 1t
benefits this community q dollar. They
don't put the money back in the mines 10
working and developing them. They re-
cefye q continuous stream OF dividends
from the working OF the mines, and o
stock boom is invariably hasched for their
sole and exclusive benefit. and for every
standard dollar that the miners and citi-
zens OF this community take out of the
mines, they put in q double eagle. So. we
say, what do We want with a stock boom =?
We are better off without it.

PADDOCK'S ELECTION.

Ex-Commissione Paddock has proved
himself better strategist than Van
Wyck, and has won the Senatorship in
Nebraska. The result justifes the criti-
cism made by the DEMOCRAT few days
ago upon the practice OF choosing United
States Senators by the State Legis-
latures. Van Wyck was undoubtedly
the choice OF majority of the Re-
publicans in his State. Failing to
elect man of their own political faith,
the Democratic minority, would many Of
them as anti-monopolists, much preferred
Van Wyck to Paddock. But by combina-
tions and secret manipulations which
would not bear the light of day, Van
Wyck's vote Of 60 against Paddock's l6
was reversed, and the choice of major
ity of the party is disregarded. The action
OF the Legislatures OF other States
where the parties are nearly equally
divided, may be adduced as a telling
argument in favor of change in the
mode OF selecting United States Senators.
Let the people vote directly for the men
to represent them in the Senate as in the
House.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE BILL.

For better or for worse, the Interstate
Commerce bill has passed both Houses
of Congress and only waits the signature
of the President to become law. Dis
cussion as to its merits will now pass
from the region OF theory to thatof practi-
cal application The large majorities
which have rallied to its support despite
strong objections to some OF its provs-
ions, show determination on the part
of the people to protect their rights as
the creators and supporters of railway
corporations The railway management
of the companies affected by its passage
protest against it, and their shares are
quite seriously affected by the assurance
of its becoming law. The fourth sec
ton, ralating to charges for long and
short hauls, appears to be most am
biguous in its terms, and furnishes
ground for discussion and eventually fol
litigation. The powers and duties OF the
Commission, whose duty it will be tC
make and enforce rules for the guidance
under the law, of the roads and their Gus
toners, are not clearly defined. Tha
there will be friction and trouble to ge
the law and the roads in good working
order is quite evident. Yet it is equal.
evident that step has been taken in thu
right direction.
